When the MMC is open and you press F1, the MMC's help does not open?

Check to make sure you have the following files and non of them are corrupt:

Indexing Service ciadv.msc
Computer Management compmgmt.msc
Device Manager devmgmt.msc
Disk Defragmenter dfrg.msc
Disk Management diskmgmt.msc
Event Viewer eventvwr.msc
Shared Folders fsmgmt.msc
Group Policy gpedit.msc
Local Users and Groups lusrmgr.msc
Removable Storage ntmsmgr.msc
Removable Storage Operator Requests ntmsoprq.msc
Performance perfmon.msc
Resultant Set of Policy rsop.msc
Local Security Settings secpol.msc
Services services.msc
Windows Management Infrastructure (WMI) wmimgmt.msc
Component Services comexp.msc

well your exact error message, steps to reproduce and sp version would all be nice. but i am up for guessing. sounds like a(nother)windows 2003 server bug. i found this stuff:
You cannot open MSDN library files or MMC Help files

Thanks! I opened the file Microsoft talks about and there wasn't anything in it. I added the XML tag and saved it and it works great! Thanks again. Sometimes you can search all you want and just not use the right word.
